I have a 10lb pancake tank, it's great I don't have to worry about it tipping over. It's too bad the 1lb tanks can't be recycled?

Ha! Nice try Caleb That is the info I am looking for as well, hehe.

I bought the refill adapter last year and had no problems refilling my tanks. But I always had the thought of something going wrong in the back of my mind. I just hate trying to dispose of the used 1 pounders. I have 1 empty tank and about 7 tanks that are full or partially filled. My dad passed away last spring and he had five 1 pounders my Mom had to get rid of. Some were full and some were partially filled. I have them now and will use them up before I need to refill. I can carry 3 bottles with me on an outing. One in the heater and two in the Mr. Heater carrying case I got at Cabela's. I've thought about getting a 5 pound tank but they run about $50. Then I'd need the adapter hose also.

I've been refilling the tanks for upward of 20 years (I believe it was within the first few years of the 'adapter') At first, I had trouble filling the tanks 'full'. I figured out that I needed to bleed off some of the air in the tank as I filled it. Now, ALL I use is refilled 1#'ers. It is illegal to transport refilled tanks 'over state lines'. I don't go out of MN so I'm covered. If anyone can prove differently... you've proved differently, Congrats!! BTW, The 1# tanks that are rusted or dented or whatever, They make GREAT targets for the AK-47 with the armor piercing ammo. At a respectable distance, of course! Phred52
